Does the bounce rate have any effect on getting listed?

Does the bounce rate have any effect on getting listed in google?

 

I dont think it has anything to do with it

 

You mean getting indexed? or affect on SERPs?

In both cases, I think there is no such affect. Main things that matters are the content and backlinks.

 

There has no effect on your serps

 

No, the bounce rate is just how many people come to your site and leave right away. This doesn't effect SERPs at all, however you need to figure out how to keep visitors at your site longer. Your bounce rate should be less than 30%.

 

Doesn't Google track visitor time on site and other such stats (like bounce rate) as part of their 100+ steps in their determination of rankings?

 

If the visitor does not return right away to Google or Analytics is installed, they do not realy have a chance to check the bouncerate.

 

Bounce rate is just an indication or data compiled based on a criteria meaning that if the visitor who visits your landing page decides to navigate away or continue to browse to other page on the directory, then these will determine the bounce rate. To connect this with whether it will affect SERP or indexing by google is totally not relevant.

 

Thanks for this. I was wondering what Bounce Rate was.

 

Not if it means they have clicked on your adsense

 

No. It is just referring to the amount of people who leave your site immediately after loading it.
